Virginia Company a Leader in Marine Energy

Four engineers from Virginia Tech have beat 72 other teams to win a place in the federal government’s Wave Energy competition. Eric Paterson , George Hagerman, Mike Philen and Heng Xiao now have the chance to win $2 million to build their design which would turn wave power into electricity. Another Virginia team chose not to enter the contest. Instead, they’re hoping to leapfrog the competition by installing a successful commercial wave farm in Europe. Sandy Hausman has that story.
